Dave :
Although my TR3A has 9" rear brakes (courtesy of a PO), I have had rear
brake shoes relined several times. Got the ones for the Sports 6 relined
last year, I think the charge was under $40. There's nothing magic about
Triumph brake shoes, I just have the local parts store send them out to be
relined without asking a lot of questions beyond "how much". It does take a
few days, so I now keep a set of relined shoes in my garage, so I can put
them on the car and then have the ones that came off relined.
Used 10" shoes suitable for relining do pop up on eBay from time to time. I
bought a pair of complete front spindles from a all drum TR2/3 last year,
just to get the 10" brake shoes and drums (which will fit the 10" rear
brakes on the early front disc TR3/A). I'll use them as spares for the TR3
that's waiting patiently in Indiana for me to find time to start restoring
it.
